- How it works
Though most moles are harmless, our cosmetic surgeon might recommend that a mole be removed if it looks suspicious. However, moles may also be removed for cosmetic reasons if a person is not happy with the way they look aesthetically. Typical moles are round, flat or slightly raised, even in colour, and keep the same size and shape over time. Moles should be monitored for significant changes that might warrant a visit to the specialist. - The Process
A mole may be removed through shaving or by excision, and where required, a biopsy might be sent to the laboratory to exclude malignant features. The mole/lesion removal is a quick procedure that is generally carried out under local anaesthesia. Since the area is numbed no pain should be felt, although a stinging or burning sensation might be felt around the treated area for a few days. - Why we love it

Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure to the area slated for removal for a few weeks before the procedure. Sunburned or tanned skin can complicate the healing process.
Skincare Routine: Maintain a regular skincare routine but avoid using harsh exfoliants or irritating products on the area to be treated.
Avoid Aspirin and Blood Thinners: If possible, avoid aspirin or other blood-thinning medications for a specified period before the procedure, as they can increase bleeding.
Discontinue Topical Products: Discontinue the use of any topical products containing retinoids or vitamin C around the removal area, as they may increase sensitivity.
Follow Aftercare Instructions: Adhere to the aftercare instructions provided by the dermatologist, including cleaning routines and any prescribed medications.
Keep the Area Clean: Gently clean the treated area with mild soap and water. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh cleansers.
Apply Antibiotic Ointment: If recommended, apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to the removal site to prevent infection.
Protect from Sun Exposure: Shield the treated area from direct sunlight during the initial healing period. Use sunscreen with high SPF if necessary.
Avoid Soaking: Avoid soaking the treated area in water, including swimming, hot tubs, or long baths, until it’s fully healed to prevent infection.
Avoid Scratching or Picking: Refrain from scratching or picking at the scab or any healing tissue to minimize the risk of scarring.
Wear Loose Clothing: Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent friction and irritation to the treated area.
Limit Physical Activity: Limit strenuous physical activity that may cause sweating or irritation to the treated area during the initial healing period.
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to assess the healing progress and address any concerns.
